Concord Crest Course Review

 
Hole One

Par Four

Hole #1 - This 439-yard Par 4 has played into the wind each time I´ve been to the course. Be prepared to have a long second shot into a green that slopes back right to front left. It´s a challenging starting hole that rewards a strong second shot.

Hole Two Par Five
Hole #2 - My favorite hole on the course. Players competing with one another could make an early move at this downward Par-5. Hit it straight and you'll have a manageable 2nd shot. However, if you lose it behind the trees with your tee shot, it could be a long hole.
Hole Three

Par Three

Hole #3 - This is a short, challenging par 3. At only 113 yards in length most people will hit wedges or a 9-iron into it. But, the green is protected with a rock wall in front and it is very narrow. Most balls that land near the center of the green will run off into thick rough and/or sand. You need to prove you´re a precision wedge player here.

Hole Four

Par Four

Hole #4 - Another short hole that requires strategy. The hole is essentially shaped like an L. Players can smack a five-iron and leave themselves 80-100 yards in. Or, they can hit driver over the trees to the left. In two tries over the trees I cleared it both times (and I´m not a very long hitter).

Hole Five

Par Four

Hole #5 - You stand at the tee and you think - I can hit the ball 283 yards or at least close. The problem is water protects the hole down the left and also in front of the green. Many perfect drives find the hazard. You´re better to lay back and leave yourself 75-yard wedge into a long green.
Hole Six Straight Par Four
Hole #6 - Another hole where you can hit it out in the fairway or try to attack down the left over some trees. The 359-yard hole isn´t long but it features a small green with sand to the right.
Hole Seven Par Four
Hole #7 - If you´re going to miss on this hole - miss left. There is water down the right and behind the green. At 140 yards, the hole just requires a strong mid or short-iron and you´ll have a birdie putt. But, if you´re going to miss ---- miss left.
Hole Eight Par Five
Hole #8 - The second par 5 on the front is also a very beautiful, challenging hole. Players must hit a tee shot over water and weeds into a wide fairway. From there, the hole goes steeply uphill, which really makes it a three-shot par-five. Hit a good wedge on your third and the green will be receptive.
Hole Nine Par Four
Hole #9 - A straightforward hole with the pro shop background. Players can attack the Par 4 with a good drive and short-iron. It´s a hole for low numbers that put you in a good mood before you make the turn.
Hole Ten Par Five
Hole #10 - Maybe it´s just time for me to admit that I love every Par 5 on the course. This one plays almost 500 yards and it´s straight as an arrow.  The fairway slopes and features numerous bumps that can knock a ball into the rough. Two good shots might get you an eagle try.
Hole Eleven Par Three
Hole #11 - On a course full of character and fun shots, this hole lacks a bit. It plays 200+ from the blue tees but it´s straight with nothing really to protect the green. Players who struggle with distance will find it tough to make par.
Hole Twelve Par Four
Hole #12 - This is the first of a great four-hole stretch on the course. A 360 yard Par 4, the 12th runs all down hill but features a pond in front of the green that collects well-struck drives. Hit a high-fade that finds the fairway and plan for another wedge into the green over the water.
Hole Thirteen Par Four
Hole #13 - About just as long as the 12th, 13 goes right back up the hill with a pond on the right. It clearly plays longer and you´ll only hit the ball as far as you can carry it in the air. This green undulates more than most and can be a tough two-putt.
Hole Fourteen Par Three
Hole #14 - Another one of my favorite holes on the course. It´s a 180-yard Par 3 with water in front. You´ve got to hit a really good golf shot to have a chance at par.
Hole Fifteen Par Five
Hole #15 - Four for four. The Par 5´s really define this golf course.  Playing right around 500 yards, there is out of bounds down the right and water to the left. A small creek cuts through the fairway 2/3 of the way down.
 
Hole Sixteen Par Three

Hole #16 - Another Par 3 with few features. It´s short (140 yards) and there´s really no trouble. Judge the distance, wind and club - and you´ll give yourself a chance at birdie.

Hole Seventeen Par Four
Hole # 17 - This hole doesn´t seem to play its full 400 yards. Each time I´ve played it I´ve had around 130 in, (and I really don´t drive the ball 270). It´s an uphill second shot to a small green that can be attacked.
Hole Eighteen Par Four
Hole #18 - The final hole on the course protects itself with water down the right. Be careful with your tee shot and you´ll have a strong chance to finish your day with a par.
